Nowadays, people spend more and more time away from their families. Why is this? What effect will it have on themselves and their families?

In the contemporary world, it is true that more and more people do not make an effort to accompany their family, and I totally agree with it. In

this

essay, I will discuss my opinion with examples in the following paragraphs. First of all, several factors contribute to people spending less

time

with their families, and one of them is longer working hours. Owing to the change in the work pattern, many individuals not only work overnight but

also

be disturbed by colleagues after work, leading to the reduction of communication

time

with families. Take my father as an example, he is a workaholic, who works 12 hours per day and even on the weekends,

while

he comes home day in and day out, little

time

that I can see him,

as a result

, I am not familiar with him, kind of like a roommate.

Therefore

, I definitely believe that working can have an impact on family relationships.

On the other hand

, technological advancements

such

as the pop-up of mobile phones, tablets, computers and so on, can be a catalyst account for straining family

time

.

Furthermore

, the desire to use them is hard to abandon, which always overtakes other things even snubbing relatives, resulting in gaining distance from family.

For instance

, my 15-year-old cousin, who is addicted to online games, spends lots of

time

chatting with friends online

instead

of his parents;

hence

, they always have many conflicts and

also

feel less comprehend to each other all the

time

.

To sum up

, there are various reasons let both parents and children neglect to stay connected with each other like high-demand jobs, long

time

working and the addition of technology devices, and I think these factors strongly affect the whole family's well-being.
